From the Archives: The Phalman

"Androgynous but with a high level of brute strength, the Phalman is a savage and dangerous entity. No one knows exactly where it came from or if its species is other than human. Some speculate that it is a demon in the form of a man, others say that is like a werewolf but in a perpetual state of madness and savagery."

I drew this creature to be part of a larger comic book world I was creating long ago involving vampires as the primary antagonists and protagonists, but the creature itself is not vampiric. In one scene I wrote, two men look directly into the eyes of the Phalman and go mad with fear. I never did decided exactly what was going on here, but I knew that this thing left behind a bloody trail wherever it traveled.

I enjoy the hair design, but I've always enjoyed a good hair stripe. Hmph...maybe I'll have to reinvestigate this idea for the Featured Creature. I never did do a full figure piece of this creature.

What are you afraid of?

Zombie bites are bite marks indicating that you have been infected by the undead. Zombie bites are indicators that you will soon join the living dead and seek out the flesh of the living. It only takes one bite. I'm not telling you anything new though. If you're here, you've probably already been bitten.

This blog is filled with my bites, the chunks of fear that lurk within me given the form of fiction, drawings, digital manipulations, paintings, and any other medium that allows me to get the beasties out of my head. I hope you find something here that you like, dislike, fear, something that makes you unsettled, disturbed, scared, or gives you that involuntary shiver, something that you'll carry with you when you leave. If you have a lingering fear, or a pernicious dark thought, or better yet a nightmare, my job here is done.

I also want you to return, to look again into the dark with me and find out what scares you most. It's easier when you're not alone. Come with me into the dark. It's only shadows. And when we're done you can always turn the light back on, right? What are you afraid of?
